�My belief is that we are going to eventually discover that the most dramatic health benefits of humor are not in laughter, but in the cognitive and emotional management that humorous experiences provide. The experience of humor relieves emotional distress and assists in changing negative thinking patterns.�Steven M. Sultanoff, Ph.D.

2. Look to the humor around you - See the world through Humor Eyes. For example consider the Freeway sign north of the San Diego Airport that reads, "Cruise Ships: Use Airport Exit."

3. Carry a toy or prop - For example, I carry a clown nose with me everywhere I go. My drivers license has me with my nose. At airports, ticket agents always smile at my ID. My watch runs backwards. You should see the smiles when I show it to others asking for the time. My car is equipped with bubbles which pass the time as I wait in a fast food drive through.

4. Subscribe to a joke service - The internet is filled with these.

5. Share (in person, if possible) a favorite funny daily with a favorite fried. - This will help keep you connected!
